If they come back,
You'll give the boys the places that they had,
All of them?

Jergens.
The places that have not been filled are yours.
As for discharging men that we've brought here,
Not one.
(He says something to Haskell, then turns to the crowd)

You're out. You understand that, do you? Out
Not for to-day, to-morrow, or six weeks,
But all time. You've got just ten minutes left.
Then, Captain, close these gates.
